=head1 NAME
Sisimai::Mail - Handler of Mbox/Maildir for reading each mail.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Sisimai::Mail;
my $mailbox = Sisimai::Mail->new('/var/mail/root');
while( my $r = $mailbox->read ) {
print $r;
}
my $maildir = Sisimai::Mail->new('/home/neko/Maildir/cur');
while( my $r = $maildir->read ) {
print $r;
}
my $mailtxt = 'From Mailer-Daemon ...';
my $mailobj = Sisimai::Mail->new(\$mailtxt);
while( my $r = $mailobj->read ) {
print $r;
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<Sisimai::Mail> is a handler for reading a UNIX mbox, a Maildir, or any email message input from
C<STDIN> variable. It is a wrapper class of the following child classes:
* Sisimai::Mail::Mbox
* Sisimai::Mail::Maildir
* Sisimai::Mail::STDIN
* Sisimai::Mail::Memory
=head1 CLASS METHODS
=head2 C<B<new(I<path to mbox|Maildir/>)>>
C<new()> method is a constructor of C<Sisimai::Mail>
my $mailbox = Sisimai::Mail->new('/var/mail/root');
my $maildir = Sisimai::Mail->new('/home/nyaa/Maildir/cur');
my $mailtxt = 'From Mailer-Daemon ...';
my $mailobj = Sisimai::Mail->new(\$mailtxt);
=head1 INSTANCE METHODS
=head2 C<B<path()>>
C<path()> method returns the path to the mbox or the Maildir.
print $mailbox->path; # /var/mail/root
=head2 C<B<kind()>>
C<kind()> method returns the name of the data type
print $mailbox->kind; # mailbox or maildir, stdin, or memory.
=head2 C<B<mail()>>
C<mail()> method returns the C<Sisimai::Mail::Mbox> object or the C<Sisimai::Mail::Maildir> object.
my $o = $mailbox->mail;
print ref $o; # Sisimai::Mail::Mbox
=head2 C<B<read()>>
C<read()> method works as an iterator for reading each email in the mbox or the Maildir. It calls
C<Sisimai::Mail::Mbox->read()> or C<Sisimai::Mail::Maildir->read> methods.
my $mailbox = Sisimai::Mail->new('/var/mail/neko');
while( my $r = $mailbox->read ) {
print $r; # print each email in /var/mail/neko
}
